Question 1

How much does a custom website cost?

Accepted Answer

A professional custom website for a service business typically starts around US$2,200–US$4,400 for a 5–10 page site. E-commerce and bilingual builds start higher — typically US$4,400–US$8,700 — because of the additional development and content work involved. Factors that move the price include page count, custom functionality (booking systems, member portals, product catalogs), and design complexity. We provide a detailed scope and fixed-price quote after a discovery call, with no change orders after signing unless you add scope.

Question 2

Which platform do you build on?

Accepted Answer

We build on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or modern frameworks (React, Next.js) depending on your needs, your team's comfort level, and your growth plans. WordPress is our most common choice for service businesses and content-heavy sites — it gives the best balance of flexibility, plugin ecosystem, and client manageability. Shopify is the clear choice for e-commerce. Webflow works well for visually complex marketing sites that need fast iteration without code. We recommend the platform that fits your business, not the one that is fastest for us to build on.

Question 3

How long does a website project take?

Accepted Answer

A standard custom website runs 4–8 weeks from signed agreement to launch. The two main variables are content readiness — how quickly you provide copy, images, and brand assets — and the number of revision cycles. Clients who come with content ready and give consolidated feedback in each round typically launch in 4–5 weeks. We share a milestone timeline with exact dates at project kickoff, and flag any risk to the schedule early so there are no surprises at the end.

Question 4

What does your web design process look like?

Accepted Answer

Our process runs five phases. (1) Discovery: we audit your current site's performance and crawl health, map competitors, and document your conversion goals and audience. (2) Architecture and wireframing: we define the page hierarchy and user journeys before any visual design is applied — structure first, aesthetics second. (3) Visual design: we develop mockups aligned to your brand, then iterate on your feedback until the design is approved. (4) Development and QA: we build on your chosen CMS, run Core Web Vitals audits on mobile and desktop, and test across browsers and real devices before handoff. (5) Launch and post-launch: we manage the go-live, monitor error logs and uptime for 72 hours, and spend the next 30 days on Analytics verification, Search Console setup, and performance tracking.

Question 5

Do you build bilingual French and English websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bilingual web design is a core part of our Montreal practice. We architect bilingual sites with clean URL structures (/fr/ subdirectory), implement hreflang tags correctly so Google serves each audience the right language version, and configure canonical tags to prevent duplicate content penalties. French pages are written in native Quebec French — we do not run machine translation. Each language version is independently optimized for search with separate keyword targets, meta tags, and structured data for French and English queries.
